Understanding Disability Benefits Support in Ohio

April marks Social Security Awareness Month, a time to consider the resources available for individuals applying for Social Security disability benefits in Ohio. The Division of Disability Determination (DDD) at Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) is vital in supporting Ohioans by assessing their eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income.

In the past year alone, they served over 158,000 Ohioans, ensuring that those who qualify receive the vital support they need. The team collaborates with the Social Security Administration to assess and process applications.
